Cuteness, Overload: 10 Baby Shower Thank You Cards We Adore

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and you’re about to need all the support you can get. After gathering your number one supporters and mini fan club together for your baby shower, you’re more grateful for friends and family than ever before (as if that were even possible).

Your friends and family members didn’t just shower you with gifts — they showered you with wisdom, tried and true baby tips, and gushing support. For these things and so many others, you want to express how thankful you really are.

Below, we’re sharing 10 of our favorite baby shower thank you cards you can send to family and friends. Plus, we’re sharing a few sample messages to help you express your gratitude.

Sample Baby Shower Thank You Note Wording

As you start thinking about thank you cards, you probably have two questions brewing: When should you send a thank you and what should you write?

Like any thank you note, you should send it out as soon as you’re able. However, don’t fret too much on timing — your friends and family know you’re a parent-to-be, with quite a few things to cross off your baby to-do list.

When you find an afternoon to write thank you notes to all your baby shower guests, try to acknowledge three items in each message: their gift, why you appreciate it or how you’ll use it, and why you cherish your shared relationship.

Here are a few sample messages you could write in your thank you cards:

• Gabby, thank you so much for the adorable onesies! You must have known that I want to raise a mini fashionista. There are so many cute baby pics coming your way that you’ll have to unsubscribe. Thank you for all your love and support!
• Rachel, the cloth diapers you gave me were so generous. I’ve wanted to cloth diaper my baby ever since I found out about the impact they make on the environment. You always give the most thoughtful gifts — it’s just one small reason I love our friendship.
• Tom and Phil, the carseat you purchased for little Eric was such a wonderful gift. I have peace of mind knowing that it will already be strapped into the car when we rush off to the hospital. Friends like you prove we have a wonderful support system behind us. Thank you!
